Abstract: The invention provides a worksite ingress/egress system for an enclosed worksite with a locked gate capable of being unlocked by an actuator upon receipt of a travel signal communicated via a communications network from an access computer system operating an access authorization system in communications with an identification system. Identification system comprises a reader configured to read a personal token presented by an individual seeking passage through locked gate. Access authorization system sends a pass signal to actuator after a successful parity check between data of a worksite criteria file and data related to said individual, the employer, and worksite.

Abstract: A universal evacuation pod is deployed either from a storage location on top of a mattress of a bed or from a canister mounted on a wall. The pod includes straps to hold it in place on top of a mattress, and a chamber accessible by opening opposed side zippers which, when open, facilitate access to portions of the pod that are laterally deployed in advance of inflation. The pod is inflated by a small gas cylinder. The portions of the pod pulled laterally outwardly from the chamber include straps that may be pulled over a person between them to hold the person in place. They may also include handles allowing the pod to be easily gripped for transport. Additional straps may be provided to facilitate carrying or dragging the inventive pod.
